To learn how to win on a consistent basis, the Arizona Diamondbacks had to figure out how to lose. A terrible six weeks back in the middle of the summer threatened to derail their season, but the D-backs persevered and came out stronger. Now they’re on the way to the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers after finishing a two-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the wild-card round on Wednesday. Game 1 is Saturday in Los Angeles.

It hasn’t always been this way for the D-backs, who are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They’re just two years removed from losing 110 games in a dismal 2021 campaign that tested everyone’s patience. “Sometimes, that’s valid and warranted. But other times, it’s just keeping your head down and keep plugging away. You’re just in a funk.”Sensational rookie Corbin Carroll and Walker started hitting again, Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly anchored the rotation and a handful of trade-deadline moves — like adding closer Paul Sewald and outfielder Tommy Pham — provided a spark.
“I just tried to tell people that if you have five good months and one really bad month, you’re going to be able to play in October, no matter how bad the month is,” Sewald said. “But that was a pretty bad six weeks.”These days, no deficit seems too big for them to erase. They trailed early in both wild-card games against the Brewers before roaring back to silence the Milwaukee crowd.
